Walls that support pool decks, hillside pool excavations and landscape edges, with careful drainage and waterproofing.
Pools on hillside lots depend on strong retaining walls. The walls hold soil around the excavation, support decks and keep landscaping stable. Because pools are heavy and sensitive to settlement, wall design and drainage matter even more than usual. Homeowners and pool builders in Nashville bring us in to build or repair walls around pool areas.
We start with a Free Estimate and coordinate with the pool builder, surveyor and engineer so the wall plan fits the pool design. We build reinforced walls with strong footings, waterproofing and drains, keep hydrostatic pressure away from the structure and protect nearby utilities. We finish the wall to match the pool deck, with stone veneer, stucco or block, and plan safe transitions to steps, gates and railings. Pool areas have special demands, from slippery surfaces to high water tables, so we take extra care with materials and details. We choose finishes that are safe underfoot, detail the wall so water drains away from the pool deck and coordinate with fence and gate requirements. Because a pool project has many trades, we communicate clearly about timing so excavation, walls, plumbing and decking happen in the right order and nobody has to rework anyone else.
Walls, decks and drains are planned together with the pool builder.
Waterproofing and drains protect walls and the pool shell.
Steps, railings and gates are planned where drops exist.
Stone, stucco and block can match the pool deck and house.

You tell us what is wrong or what you want to build, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We walk the site, measure heights and lengths, look at soil and water paths and talk through what you want the space to do.
You receive a plain written scope with materials, drainage, engineering needs and the schedule before work begins.
We locate utilities, stake the wall line, excavate and build a compacted base that will carry the wall.
We build the wall course by course, add reinforcement as designed, install drains and place and compact clean backfill.
We add caps, steps and planting, clean up, restore the site and walk through the finished wall with you.
Yes. Coordination avoids conflicts and delays.
Often yes, because of heights and loads. We coordinate it.
Drains, waterproofing and careful backfill protect walls and the pool area.
We offer finishes to harmonize with decking and coping.
We can coordinate railing and safety elements around drops.
